Being an AdSense publisher myself, accidental clicks were a real cause of worry for me. I’ve come across lots of publishers who lose their accounts due to this reason. Alex Bailey from Tech Reads shares a great Greasemonkey script which can help you prevent accidental clicks on your AdSense ads.
Before installing this script, you must have Firefox with Greasemonkey extension installed. Now, download and install this script. Once you’ve installed the script, visit your website which has AdSense ads in it. You’ll notice a popup box which asks for your AdSense Publishers Code (You can find your publisher code at the bottom of ‘My Account’ in your AdSense Account’s Dashboard, it looks something like pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). That’s it, happy earning.
All credits must go to Michael Hampton from Homeland Stupidity who originally developed this script. Earlier, I used to report all accidental clicks which occurred during theme designing, debugging via this page.
